I was forever changed by my near-death experience. Through it, I realized exactly how I had become sick… and that I could heal. As I was hovering above my hospital bed, I understood that my painful thoughts, ideas, and non-forgiveness were alive and somehow stored in my body. When I looked down, I saw my crumpled form full of resentment and sadness. I was overcome with compassion for my body as I had the realization that how we think, and how we feel, are much more important than we've ever understood. In the same second somehow I was given the knowing that I could let go of my past... and heal completely.

As I saw how I had been wasting my precious existence holding on to grudges and proving myself right I knew I had never given my body a chance to recover. It was when I heard the words, "Would you like to stay or go back" that everything changed. Yes, I healed completely!
